One of the coolest parts of the NBA is watching legends of the past give their blessing to the stars of the future.

After the New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night, we were privy to one such moment between Allen Iverson and Kristaps Porzingis:

IVERSON: Man, you're heading in the right direction, man. You're doing everything the right way. I love to see it, bro.

While Iverson is hanging out with legendary Knicks big men, maybe he can convince Charles Oakley to participate in Ice Cube's 3-on-3 basketball league. I'd suggest Patrick Ewing, but the Hall of Famer currently works for Michael Jordan as an assistant coach with the Charlotte Hornets. Given that Iverson recently threw some shade Jordan's way, Ewing's probably out of the running.
